Parking sensors - any experts?

With the imminent arrival of my new bumper i am considering getting some parking sensors of some variety. but i'm looking for feedback and reccomendations.

 

I can park the car fine now with out sensors before people start questioning driver ability; but the new bumper at the rear sits lower, and i'm concerned about clipping curbs. especially as the XKR is as long as an estate car, but has a port hole for a rear window. and a boot that hangs well over a foot over the rear wheels.

 

2 options i seem to have are ultrasonic or electromagnetic

 

I've been looking at the Parking dynamics PD1 kit which is electromagnetic, i like it as has no ugly bumper acne, but it seems to get mixed reviews on how well it works. i've looked at a few other similiar systems, but i would be interested to hear from people with expereince of these systems. this style is my prefered choice.

 

as for the ultrasonics, they seem alot more reliable and easier to change out if you have a fault. especially as my new rear is bonded to the car. but i do find them ugly looking. i am intrigued to know of what people think are the best sensors etc.
